Our belief: Talent retention and employee performance require a deeper understanding of employee motivation. We ask: what are the essential factors that motivate active employee engagement and their core passions for their job? And, how can we reveal these hidden forces so we can create meaningful and transparent dialogue between employee and manager?
Our thesis: Transparency creates a culture of communication, understanding and connection. It activates employee passions and motivation. If we can identify levels of authentic talent motivation, and engage employees in the topics that matter most, we can change the game for talent retention and performance. At the same time, management feedback loops like Pulse and Retain can help leaders develop and raise their game. It’s a win-win.
Our journey: We’ve assembled a robust network of advisors, and conducted multi level research on these factors to build the core framework for retention and performance management based on the Motivation Index. Our team insights and input from customers have inspired the design and user experience. Now, the employee “voice” can be heard and translated into action. For the first time, managers, executives, CHROs/ VP People and employees collaborate to build a more thriving culture of passion and talent motivation.
Our mission: CompEdge™ reveals talent insights that were previously hidden. Acting on these insights can drive talent motivation and positive change. Our mission is to help organizations hear their people, capture their passions and empower leaders to proactively evolve to transform the employee experience.
The result: Greater employee satisfaction, motivation, productivity, performance and loyalty.

Employee Experience can be measured in numerous ways. Historically, companies have used employee engagement surveys and software to measure this. These surveys can be time-consuming and tedious for fast-growing companies. Many are more than 200 questions long and can take months to disseminate. According to experts, levels of employee engagement remain at about 13% nationally. This figure has changed little in the past few decades. Despite dozens of surveys measuring employee engagement, it’s not clear how well these tools actually predict retention risk, or improve ‘sustained’ employee engagement. More recently, Jacob Morgan and others have popularized the Employer Experience Index. There is a trend toward linking employee experience to retention and attrition challenges. Morgan believes it is a better predictor of employee satisfaction and ultimately retention. Yet this index, which focuses on just three areas: physical environment, technology and culture, fails to incorporate key elements of an employee’s reason-for-leaving a company, especially for leadership and professionals. Extensive research shows professionals are most motivated by the impact they can make. Here is a consensus for key career motivators for executives, managers and technical employees:
1) Role/Position
2) Boss/Manager/Supervisor
3) People/ Culture
4) Company
5) Career
Top employees derive satisfaction from a variety of categories. Our research suggests these five capture the key touch points that reflect how one’s experience in a given role is expressed in the context of the people, boss, company and career advancement. Employees score and weight these categories. The tool allows employees to use a familiar academic grading system. It then converts the grades into scores. The user can then fine-tunes the scores if they’d like. All scores fall within a 70-100 range. An aggregate score is calculated and used as a key component of retention risk. Scores are confidential but employee comments and suggestions may be shared.
